Chapter 333: Flood
This time it rained heavily, it had been raining for three days, and the rain showed no signs of stopping. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although it is a little far away from the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, it is intersected with several countries, and the population is relatively dense, and the economy is relatively developed.
Originally, Zi'er and Beichenluo planned to stay here for two days and have a good look here, but now that it's raining, they can only be trapped in the inn.
The rain in the lockdown lasted for seven days before it stopped, and almost the entire lockdown was flooded, and the rural towns were even more devastated.
Less than 300 miles away from the closure is the border of Yanzhou City, the fiefdom of Beichen Luo, after staying in the lockdown for four days and seeing that the rain did not stop, Zi'er and Beichen Luo hurriedly left the closure and rushed to Yanzhou City.
With such heavy rain, the disaster situation in Yanzhou City is definitely not optimistic, but fortunately, after leaving the lockdown for 100 miles, the rain is much smaller, and the rainfall there is a little smaller than the lockdown.
This time the rain not only affected the lockdown, but many places not far from the lockdown also suffered heavy rain, and the lockdown is adjacent to the borders of several countries, which means that several countries have been affected.
Passing by the affected towns in Xirui Kingdom, Beichen Luodu issued one order after another, and the report to the emperor had already rushed to Shangjing.
Even if Beichen Luo and Zi'er traveled almost day and night, it was already five days later when they reached Hanmo County, the hardest-hit county in Yanzhou City.
All the towns under Hanmo County were hit by the floods, many villages had completely collapsed, and nearly 2,000 people died in just a few days.
And almost all of the people who died were stoned to death because of the collapse of their houses. Others were reluctant to leave their homes and were swept away by the flood.
This situation is still because not long ago, Zi'er and Beichenluo ordered the construction of water conservancy and strengthened the river, so the situation is not so serious.
The population of Yanzhou City is not very large, and the total population is only more than one million, in fact, with the geographical area of Yanzhou City, the population of Yanzhou City is large. It is precisely because of the fiefdom of the king of Yanzhou City, although the land of Yanzhou City is barren, but the security of Yanzhou City is the best in the whole world, and there are very few corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so many people would rather live a poor life and are willing to settle down in Yanzhou City.
The basic town adjacent to Yanzhou City, because the water conservancy there has not been renovated for several years, so the flood situation this time is even more serious than that of Yanzhou City.
There are two towns in Xirui Kingdom, one is Xiyue City, and the other is Gu New Town, it is said that the collapsed houses in the two towns should not be as serious as Yanzhou City, whether it is Xiyue City or Gu New Town, the people's lives are still good, and the houses are naturally stronger than those in Yanzhou City. It's a pity that whether it is Xiyue City or Guxin Town, the disaster situation is more serious than that of Yanzhou City, because many rivers in Xiyue City and Guxin City are blocked, which not only makes the damage to farmland more serious, but also the people's houses are more damaged than those houses that are not strong enough in Yanzhou City because of the collision of the flood.
The officials of Yanzhou City had already evacuated the people on the third day after the heavy rain and resettled the people whose houses were damaged, so after Zi'er and Beichenluo arrived in Yanzhou City, they did a good job after the disaster. At least the people affected by the disaster have a place to live, food to eat, and clothes to wear.
Although it is impossible to have rice, it will not be hungry, and compared with other affected places, the post-disaster work in Yanzhou City is relatively well done. Zi'er felt that even if she arranged the post-disaster work at that time, it was not much better than now.
Now the rain has been much smaller, but the rainwater in many places has not been drained out, and fortunately, the crops are not yet ripe, even if they are affected by the flood, they will not have a hard time by planting some things after the disaster.
The most important thing now is how to better solve the resettlement of those who have lost their homes, food, and livestock.
There is also a need to prevent heavy rain from invading again, although the rain has become smaller in the past two days, it may be said that when you wake up, it will be heavy rain again.
And after the flood, although the weather is not very hot, in Yanzhou City, it is not very cold at this time, and it is not hot or cold, and all kinds of germs are easy to breed.
Therefore, before Zi'er arrived in Yanzhou City, she had already sent a message that the drinking water of the people must be boiled before drinking, and cold water must not be drunk, and this order must be strictly implemented. Zi'er is most worried that after stopping, there will be a resurgence of tide, the weather in Yanzhou City is somewhat similar to the weather in the south, the winter will not be too cold, but after the New Year, there will always be a few days of resurgence in a month. No matter what it is on the day of resurgence, it is the most eye-catching and moldy, and all kinds of viruses are also the most susceptible to infection.
Fortunately, after Zi'er arrived in Yanzhou City, although the weather was not good, the weather did not return.
In addition, Zi'er ordered that they were not allowed to drink cold water and eat things that were not cooked thoroughly, although many of the people affected by the disaster in Yanzhou City were infected with wind and cold, but because they controlled their diet properly, they were not worried about the plague.
However, Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng were not so good, although Beichen Luo also ordered the people of the two cities to prohibit the use of unboiled water to drink cooked things, but the officials of the two cities were so busy with the disaster that their feet did not touch the ground, and they did not pay much attention to the things of not drinking raw water. However, the order of the king was promulgated, but the people were not strictly required to implement it, so whether it was Xiyue City or Guxin City, the people of the two cities were several times more sick than Yanzhou City after the heavy rain.
Knowing the situation of the two cities of Xiyue City and Guxin City, Beichen Luo said that it was impossible not to be annoyed and angry, although of course he was most concerned about the people of Yanzhou City, but Beichen Luo was also the prince of Xirui Kingdom, and it was impossible not to care about the people of Xirui Kingdom, so when dealing with the affairs of Yanzhou City, he did not forget to pay attention to the situation of Xiyue City and Gu New Town.
Because of this, we were able to learn about the situation of the two cities in the shortest possible time.
Not only did there be many sick people in Xiyue City and Guxincheng, but the government's post-disaster work was in a mess, and even those homeless people were not resettled, and many homeless people were forced to hide in caves in barren mountains and mountains.
There is not much grain in Yanzhou City, and I don't know if this rain will fall? Although when the flood came, an order had been sent to people to prepare post-disaster materials to be sent to Yanzhou City, but because of this flood, the roads in many places were washed out, and even if food could be prepared, it would take a lot of time to transport it.
And the coarse grain in Yanzhou City is estimated to last for half a month, so when they got the news of Xiyue City and Guxin City, Zi'er and Beichenluo both decided not to send the grain from Yanzhou City.
Moreover, the damage to the towns near Xiyue City and Gu New Town is not so serious, there is really no way, as long as the emperor orders it, it will soon be able to transfer grain from nearby towns.
Beichen Luo also sent a letter to the past, asking Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng to borrow grain from the town next door, before the disaster relief materials of the imperial court arrived, as long as the town next door borrowed food, the people affected by the disaster would not go hungry.
Beichen Luo originally thought that when his news was sent over, whether it was Xiyue City or Gu Xincheng, the officials would act according to his orders, but he didn't think that they would do that at all.
Beichen Luo was so busy because of the disaster in Yanzhou City that his feet didn't touch the ground, Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng could only convey his orders, and if the officials didn't listen, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't deal with those officials at such a moment. After all, where are the officials disposed of at this time, and how to deal with the situation after the disaster? Whether it is to resettle the people affected by the disaster or to rebuild after the disaster, those officials must deal with it first.
However, when he learned that the officials of Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng were not strong, Beichenluo still took down several officials with higher official positions who were the most unresponsible in the two cities and postponed their disposal. In this way, those officials are more attentive. But even if those officials were a little more careful, due to the delay some time ago, there were already many people who had not been properly resettled after the disaster, or the diseases caused by not paying attention to hygiene, which caused the death toll of the people in Xiyue City and Guxin City to rise every day.
In the last two days, the weather in Xiyue City and Gu New Town has warmed up, but it is a resurgence day, so in some villages of Xiyue City and Gu New Town, a plague has been triggered, to be exact, it is plague.
Although after the flood, Zi'er and Beichenluo made it clear again and again that they wanted to prevent the occurrence of the plague, but the hygiene awareness of these ancients was too weak, and they didn't think that there was anything wrong with drinking raw water, let alone the water from the well. I haven't heard of getting sick or even contracting the plague from drinking the water there.
Although everyone says that Princess Ding's medical skills are excellent, many people believe that Princess Ding was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and must have been raised extremely carefully since she was a child, and she must be very delicate in eating and drinking.
Therefore, even if the decree of the king is issued, few strictly enforce it.
Knowing that there was a plague outbreak in both Xiyue City and Gu New Town, the towns adjacent to the two cities closed their gates and did not allow the people of Xiyue City and Gu New Town to enter.
There are also many people who fled to Yanzhou City from Xiyue City and Guxin City, but Beichen Luo did not let those people into the city, the plague is no better than other diseases, I don't know how many people died due to the plague in history, and it is impossible for Beichen Luo to joke with the lives of the people of Yanzhou City.
At the boundary of Yanzhou City, the checkpoint was set up, so the people who suffered from the plague could not enter Yanzhou City, but Beichenluo did not ignore those people, and let people build houses near the checkpoint, and those people infected with the plague were placed there, and some of them were just ordinary diseases, and other resettlement sites were also set up.
Therefore, even if the situation is very serious today, the situation can be controlled in all aspects and will not cause riots among the people.
What Beichen Luo and Zi'er didn't expect was that the emperor didn't send disaster relief materials, and when he got the news of the plague in Xiyue City and Guxin City, he directly sent troops to defend the people of these two cities and strictly forbid them to leave.
Although the emperor sent the imperial doctors to come, it is not difficult to guess from the attitudes of those imperial doctors that the people of Xiyue City and Guxin City were all given up by the emperor.
After getting the emperor's will, the emperor's plan Zi'er and Beichen Luo roughly guessed it, no wonder there was no disaster relief materials, the emperor is planning to give up the people of these two cities?
Zi'er knew that the emperor was cold-blooded and cold-hearted, but she didn't expect that he would choose such an inhumane approach to his subjects.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in the two cities, right? Does the emperor want to give up the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people like this?
Although all sick people were quarantined, and those who were not sick were strictly forbidden to go out, there was no food, and even if the people were not infected with the plague, they would starve to death because of the lack of food.
What made Beichen Luo and Zi'er cry and laugh was that the emperor actually issued an order to let King Ding deal with the affairs of Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng, and not a single grain was distributed, but the two cities that were full of trouble were handed over to King Ding, and the emperor really made a good calculation.
The reason why the emperor did this, Zi'er and Beichenluo probably guessed something, the treasury was empty, and it was estimated that there was no silver and no food.
But even if there is no silver and no food, Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng are also the responsibility of the imperial court, the responsibility of the emperor, but now the emperor throws this responsibility directly to the king, I don't know how the emperor plans to face the people of the world?
And the people of Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng were very happy when they learned that the emperor had entrusted the post-disaster work to Prince Ding. Of course, the people of the two cities know the situation of Yanzhou City, and because of this, the people of these two cities believe that there is a king of Ding, they will not be abandoned, and they will definitely be able to survive.
Putting two plague-stricken cities, and still without a penny or a grain of rice to support them, they were handed over to King Ding's hands in such an irresponsible manner, Zi'er really wanted to cut the emperor's face with a knife to see how thick his skin was?
"What are we going to do now?"
Zi'er looked at Beichen Luo with a cold expression, and knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to give up the people of those two cities. But although they have made a lot of money recently, the money is still enough for Yanzhou City, and if they want to use it to settle the post-disaster arrangements of Xiyue City and Gu New Town, it is not enough at all.
"Let the rich people in the city donate money and food, and the plague problem will be left to you. Food and clothing, as well as where the people would live in the future, see how much they could get from the rich households. ā
The people of the two cities need to be resettled, Beichen Luo's heart is unprecedentedly dignified, and there are really not many ways he can think of when there is a lack of food, clothing, and money. Fortunately, Zi'er knows how to cure the plague, otherwise, things would have been more difficult.
As long as the plague is controlled, there will always be a way for the rest.
"Give it to the emperor, and say that since Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng are thrown into our hands at this time, these two cities will be included in our fiefdom in the future."
Throw this mess at them, and don't want to go back to the mess they've cleaned up.
If the emperor doesn't agree, they can ignore it, is it possible to fulfill one of his wills, and they have to obediently act according to the will?
Could it be that not long after they left the capital, the emperor forgot that in fact, she Qin Zi'er and Beichen Luo were not easy to provoke and calculate.
"Incorporate Xiyue City and Gu New City into our fiefdom?" Beichen Luo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zi'er with a glittering gaze, why didn't he think of this just now, just thinking that the emperor threw them such a big trouble, and after solving this big trouble, he would get some reward from the emperor.
Listening to Zi'er say this, it is the best reward, although Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng are not far from Yanzhou City, the land of these two cities is really good, and it is more than a little better than the land of Yanzhou City. It is precisely because of this that the lives of the people of Xiyue City and Guxin City will be much better than the people of Yanzhou City. Of course, in the past year, the people of Yanzhou City have lived a lot better, at least no one will starve to death and freeze to death.
And there is not a lot of land in Xiyue City and Guxin City, but the population is not much, and with these two cities, you can also arrange some people from Yanzhou City to go over, and when the time comes, no matter where the people are, they will definitely be able to live a good life.
"We have an excerpt, the emperor will definitely not agree, although he may have made up his mind to abandon the people of the two cities, but he may be willing to give up the land of the two cities, and he may not be willing to give up the taxes of the two cities."
If the terrain of Xiyue City and Gu New Town is like Yanzhou City, there are not many places to grow food, it is estimated that the emperor will not be so reluctant, but now the land of Xiyue City and Gu New Town is good, and it is strange that the emperor will be happy.
The corners of Beichen Luo's lips hooked up a sneer, "The emperor will agree, if he doesn't agree, we will pass on his plan to give up the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng, and after Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng were affected by the disaster this time, if they want to do a good job in the aftermath of the disaster, they not only need a lot of manpower, but also a lot of silver, and the treasury has not much silver, if the emperor can't think of a way to get those rich people to donate, he will definitely not be able to raise silver." Without silver, food, and a place to live, it is estimated that the people of Xiyue City and Guxin City will cause riots. ā
That's right, if the emperor hadn't come up with a lot of money and food, the people of the two cities would inevitably cause riots under the instigation of well-intentioned people.
If there is a riot in Xirui at this time, and the emperor wants to suppress this riot, he will definitely need a lot of silver, and he may lose a lot of soldiers. This is definitely not a situation that the emperor is happy to see.
What's more, if Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng cause a riot, the emperor's princes who are eyeing the throne will definitely fight even harder, and it is really hard to say whether the emperor will have the ability to suppress his sons at that time.
Therefore, for Xiyue City and Gu Xincheng, the emperor's best idea is not to pay money, food and clothing.
"Why do I think we're a little bit of a loss? Are we considered to be the emperor? ā
Thinking of how big the two cities will be, Zi'er is full of joy, even if those two cities now represent a huge trouble.
Thinking of the plague, in this era, people who suffer from plague disease cannot be cured, and it is difficult to control the plague, according to Zi'er's understanding of this place, usually the place where the plague occurs, almost like the slaughter of the city, almost no one can live.
Therefore, the emperor gave up Xiyue City and Guxin City precisely because he knew very well that since the plague had broken out in these two cities, I am afraid that there was no way to cure such an epidemic. It's not worth wasting so much stuff knowing that there is no hope.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a trick on us? And he came to pit the king in front of the whole world, he can be the first year of junior high school, why can't we be the fifth year of junior high school. Besides, only if Xiyue City and Gu New City become our fiefdoms, can this king handle the affairs of these two cities with his heart. ā
Listening to someone's appearance of not negotiating, the smile on the corner of Zi'er's lips couldn't be suppressed, so who else is the blackest person except for our Dingwangye?
"Don't tell the emperor about the plague first, after the emperor's will comes down, and Xiyue City and Gu New City become our fiefdoms, we are spreading the news that the plague can be cured."
If the emperor knew that she Qin Zi'er knew how to heal people suffering from plague, and knew how to control and eradicate plague in a harsh environment. Definitely not to give Xiyue City and Gu New City to them.
Beichen Luo nodded, what Zi'er said was not wrong, they could slowly control the situation of the plague first, and as for the food and clothing for disaster relief, they could also pass a little bit first. Only by letting the emperor see that if you want to deal with the post-disaster work of Xiyue City and Gu New Town, you must pay a lot of money.
There is really no way to force the emperor, he can only agree to their request in the end, otherwise, after spending money and efforts, in the end there will only be a deserted empty city, how useful can it be?
After discussing with Zi'er, Beichen Luo's letter was also sent to the emperor's imperial study as soon as possible, and seeing the letter from King Ding, I believe that the emperor will not be able to rest well for several days.
